Thanks to TimT for a few pics. I wanted to make one of these but have had little luck in finding many photos for reference. I believe this is the 30,000 pound counterweight that is listed as an option for this machine. From what I have seen, there are smaller individual weights that are placed on top of this one, but without photos that show the top I didn't model them yet. I had this dusty old carrydozer model sitting around just asking for some sort of upgrade, and was trying to decide between a multi shank ripper, or the counterweight. I settled on the counterweight because it was easier. I may try a multi shank ripper once the D11T is out. It is made out of brass although it could probably be made out of styrene easier. Enough of my rambling, here's a couple pictures.







Thanks for looking,

Shane

Wow, what a wonderful job. Keep them coming. I look forward to seeing the RIPPER.

Great Job Shane!! And something not often seen either. Like I had said, the machine I sent you pics of was the only CD that I had seen in person without the ripper. That would be a great piece for the mining dozer collectors! Tim.

Looks pretty good so far. Here are a couple photos from work showing 2 of our ex-Carrydozers with counterweights. I hope they help.
